Porn is enormously profitable. This might just be the saving grace for AI. Historically, porn has been a pioneer in new tech industries (home video, online commerce, video and streaming). This time they aren't first to the game but don't underestimate the industry.
- nativeit 1y agoAssuming it deals somehow with the folks who use it for revenge porn, deep fakes of non-consenting parties, and depictions of minors…has it said anything about doing that? Has anyone? Does anyone know the legal implications of generating mass quantities of sexual exploitation, or is this just another thing with AI that society will have to simply tolerate in the name of “progress”?
- mrweasel 1y agoThe saving grace here might be that you can hide your porn subscription in your monthly OpenAI subscription. Only question then: Will VISA and Mastercard cut off OpenAI for peddling porn? A quick search seems to indicate that the porn industry has a $100B in revenue per year, 20% of which is from subscriptions. If OpenAI consumed the entire global market for subscriptions, $20B, would that cover their yearly operational cost?
